Vela Luka

Our next stop was on the Korcula island, just a three hour ferry drive away from Split. Vela Luka is a tiny sleepy town on the west coast of the small island. The locals say that it is very busy during the tourist season, but luckily for us the season had just finished. I, even though I often am one, don't like tourists. I prefer to go off the beaten track (but in some remote parts of Croatia it is not advisable because of the old land mines).

Anyways, on Vela Luka we did some scuba diving (good sealife!), ate well (good seafood!), made new friends, walked and walked. We went to see a cave, just 3,5 kilometres away from the town. We took the wrong turn at some point and ended up to walk about 20 kilometres (half of it was a steep uphill). When we got to the cave it was closed (!!). Where the route to the cave begins there is a sign with all the information about the cave except it's opening hours. Who would have thought it can be closed; it is a cave after all! So, we climbed over the high gate and explored the cave on our own.

I really liked Vela Luka and it was good to have a quiet few days between the two bigger cities. I also do recommend diving in Croatia; it was enjoyable (saw few eels, a starfish, a nudibranch), not as good as in the tropical waters, but good. :)

p.s. I fell in love with the most cutest yellow car ever.
